Lake Alfred Pines is a single-family home community in Lake Alfred, Polk County, built by Centex near Old Lake Alfred Road and North Buena Vista Drive in ZIP 33850 (Centex community listing and new-home portals, 2026). Construction ran in roughly 2023 to 2025, and the builder reports the community as sold out, so the active market here is resale rather than new construction.
Centex marketed the homes with a small set of single-family floor plans, generally three to four bedrooms with roughly 1,600 to 2,900 square feet across the lineup, with builder-included features such as stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and a smart-home package cited on the builder and portal pages (Centex and new-home listing portals, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and included features for any specific home, since builder packages and finishes vary by home and over time.
Because this is a young builder community, the money is made or lost on the HOA, the lot, the plan, and the early resale picture, not on a long price history. The drivers are the monthly HOA dues, whether a Community Development District (CDD) assessment applies, the specific lot and exposure, the floor plan, and how the first wave of resales prices against new-build comps. Read the HOA documents and confirm any CDD before you offer.
The pitch is a central Polk location: portals describe the community as minutes from US 17, US 92, and Interstate 4, with Lakeland to the west and the Tampa and Orlando metros on either side. The work is the diligence: confirm the HOA dues and any CDD, check the lot and plan, and price the home against the thin but growing set of resale comps before you buy.
